Reimagining our interactions with the digital world

" We need a science that takes into account the capabilities of humans, the capabilities of computers, and focuses on the interaction between the two. "

To imagine the future of the digital world, considering technology alone is not enough : we need to think about our interactions with it. A field of research aimed at enhancing human capabilities through those of the machine, human-machine interaction poses a fundamental question : how can we ensure that computers meet, in all circumstances, the needs of the people who use them ?
Wendy E. Mackay guides us through the exploration of this vast field of thought, presenting the theoretical foundations and challenges of a multidisciplinary field that draws as much from the natural and social sciences as from computer science, engineering and design.
